Abram was very knowledgeable on Turin and its history. We have many stops on the tour in which he explained history and fun facts about the beautiful city. There were a handful of food stops and the food was plentiful and very delicious at every stop. Abram also ordered some local delicacies which were very delicious!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you, Mary for your nice feedback! I'm delighted you enjoyed our time together. As a former head chef and food consultant for a Michelin concept deeply rooted in the culinary history of Turin and Piedmont, I take great pride in showcasing the place that tells a part of my personal career in Italy. Each stop on our food journey serves as a gateway to the captivating stories of Turin’s people and custom but especially to the flavors that have shaped its identity as a gastronomic destination. It was my pleasure to introduce you to local delicacies and I'm happy to hear you found them delicious.
Thanks for joining me and choosing our family run business!
Cheers,
Abram

The host, Abram, was fabulous. Personable with in depth knowledge of the sites visited and history of Torino too. We lightly feasted throughout the tour, ending with a delicious small meal. We were well fed, lots of water and we moved throughout the Quadrilatero as he pointed out sights to explore further as we wandered from eatery to eatery. Best food tour we have ever participated in. My preference for vegetarian food was accommodated too! You will not be hungry when you finish.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thanks a million for such a great review on our food tour of Turin!
I couldn’t have been happier to read about your fully satisfaction… moreover, as you guys are super foodies and huge travellers, it’s a great honour to read that ours was the best food tour you have ever participated! That really is a significant feedback to us. As a small family business we give our 1000% to make you happy and to create something personable, delightful and delicious, but, mostly, memorable and emotionally impactful. Each time is a new adventure for us as well and we are thankful for every single food explorer that has chosen - and keep choosing- I EAT Food Tours to discover the flavours of Torino.
So, again, grazie mille for an evening of genuine sharing, good food, authentic eateries, wine (water, as you pointed ;) and great vibes especially.
I hope to see you guys at some point, perhaps participating to one of my cooking classes next time.
A presto and all the best.
Cheers,
Abram

It was all so memorable as history was paired with food. We got the history of each food type we had. As we strolled through different neighborhoods we were given the significance of town squares and monuments- pulling it all together for a fun and interesting dining experience
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Dear Debra,
Thank you so much for this positive feedback on our food tour. It was a pleasure to arrange something entirely customised for you and your group and to give you not just a delectable overview on the best local foods and places but also on the precious history of the former Italian Capital.
We hope to host you again in Turin and Piedmont for more memorable adventure together.
Thank you again for choosing I EAT Food Tours & Events!
Kindest regards,
Team I EAT. Food Tours

Cecelia our tour guide was wonderful! Passionate and well informed. Knowledgeable and experienced. She also had a second guide who gave historical information and she was also terrific.
Response from Host, May 2024
Russell, Russell, what a FUNtastic (and FUNtasty :D ) day we had in Turin last week!
A huge thank you for the memories we built together: happy memories are what we treasure for ever, after all.
I was very happy to organise for you and your amazing group of foodies a tailor made experience and I couldn’t be happier to read that our combo of food education and discovery + pills of history about the city has been appreciated.
Your enthusiasm means the world to us.
Thank you lots for the great time celebrating life around the table and for this beautiful review also on behalf of Giada!
I do really hope our paths will cross again at some point.
Meantime, all my best and big hugs to everybody!
Ciao, a presto!
Cecilia
Ben_Y, Nov 2023
We had an amazing time as Cecilia shared insights into the world of Piemontese food--and the story of her own journey--over the course of four hours of conversation and bites. We started with dessert--Zaba', gelato and hazelnuts. We moved on to pizza, farinata, and arancine, and finished up with some delicious veal tonnato, veal tartare and incredibly light lasagne at an intimate trattoria. This tour is highly recommended. But when Cecilia advises you to eat a light breakfast, take her at her word!
Response from Host, May 2024
Dear Ben,
Thank you so much for a beautiful day to remember, filled with happy bites and tasty conversations! I loved shared with you the gastronomic scene of Turin through my eyes and stories and I left you guys with a heart full of joy and also new inspiration about my future projects.
I hope our paths will cross again at some point: you, Gigi and your daughters are always welcome here for new exciting and flavourful adventures :)
Meantime, let’s keep in touch!
Thanks a million again for visiting Torino, choosing our food tour and writing this amazing review.
Wishing you and your family all things good.
Best,
Cecilia

We had the best time and tasted awesome food. Abram was a fantastic guide. I had hurt my knee and was limping, and he made me comfortable and welcomed. There were two other couples on the tour, and we all had a great time sharing our lives and some wonderful food and wine. Would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
Maureen, thank you so much for this amazing review!
You were fantastic people and passionate food travellers and it was a day I enjoyed myself a lot.
Here at I EAT Food Tours we always are thankful to meet up with a community of like minded people who love to explore a new destination through its food. Of course we also do everything we can to make the trip tasty, fun and enjoyable for everyone and I am happy you could enjoy the journey to the fullest, despite your knee. Hope it’s getting better, btw.
Thanks again for booking our food tour and for recommending the experience to other foodies and curious travellers.
Until the next time!
Grazie mille, ciao!
Cheers,
Abram

It was a fantastic foodie experience with Abram, one of the best ever. We learnt a great deal about the food scene in Turin, ate tasty delights and had a fun filled evening at the same time. Gracia, Abram.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thanks a million, Walter!
Your appreciation - and the fact you have enjoyed our food experience in Torino to the fullest - is the best reward for those who, like me and us here at I EAT Food Tours, work with passion and dedication to deliver an excellent and significant food adventure in one of the most wrongly underrated cities of Italy.
Torino is happy to welcome food and travel lovers like you and as a food specialist and ambassador I am happy to give you a tasty time to remember in my beloved city.
Until the next time for more exciting food trips in Piedmont!
Best,
Abram
Geoffrey_F, Jun 2023
The tour didn’t meet our expectation it was timed to start at 4pm and most places were closed or no atmosphere it started with tasting chocolate and moved on to pizza ! Then at an empty restaurant we had 1 glass of wine and some average pasta ( this is Italy) the … should have started
at 6pm .. find a better product it wasn’t worth the price
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Dear Geoffrey,
We are very sorry to hear your experience didn't match your expectations.
Must admit, though, that we had checked 2 times to convince ourselves it was really you the author of this feedback - which, in truth, came like a bolt from the blue for several reasons.
-You and Christine showed no sign of disappointment or not enjoying the experience and the food (also, you ate all the food tastings).
-You both have been very kind, from start to end. This review sounds so 'not like you' for the nice time we had together.
-As you perhaps already know, because for sure you checked on the previous reviews, yours it's the only negative feedback against 300+ beautiful notes on 3 platforms. Lots of which have been written by food travellers who rated our food tour as the best they have joined by far (and they have joined dozens all across the globe).
-Last one, not last important: allow me to say that your review contains many not correct things, on which I am about to reply shortly.
That said, of course this all thing makes us sad!
And that's for here, at "I EAT Food Tours", we are a small family business and we always work with love, passion and dedication to deliver to our guests not just a premium service but also, and that is perhaps even more important, a quality, significant time through a fully curated food adventure in our delighful city.
So that when you come back home you hopefully got a suitcase plenty of tasty, fun and meaningful memories to treasure.
When we read the feedback from people who have written such splendid things about us, the food and our culinary tours, we feel so grateful and blessed - for our number 1 mission has been accomplished: we have made people happy. Pretty often we've also made new friends!
As this didn't happened with you, again, that makes us sorry.
If during the tour you had manifested a state of non contentness, we could still do all our best to turn the things up. Now we can only say we're sorry...
In your review you said:
"it was timed to start at 4pm and most places were closed or no atmosphere"
This experience is very popular and we decided to open another time slot in order to allow more people to join us.
The places you visited were obviously not closed. Only one was just closing its dehor (the dehor, not the eatery) but actually left us sitting outside anyway.
Monday is a day where many shops and some restaurants/bars take their day off. Torino is not a city overloaded with tourists (a plus for many, for they get into the local vibes. The real ones), that's one of the reasons.
Not to mention that people from Torino are starting to join long weekends out from the city (Friday to Monday), schools are 3 months closed, kinds and grandparents are often to their second home by the sea side... and so on.
About the 'no atmosphere' you've mentioned, well, if that was your feeling we cannot do anything about it. It's something so personal. We always select off the beaten path food spots, loved and frequented by locals and not many tourists at all.
“The…. should have started at 6pm”
The starting time is planned in order to avoid the chance of being in the crowd.
There’s an evening private experience that starts at 6, but it’s an evening out, something different.
“At an empty restaurant we had 1 glass of wine and some average pasta”
When there are 35 C like the day of your experience, and it is not yet dinner time for locals (who usually join a restaurant after 8 pm) a restaurant can (still) be empty.
Again, we prefer not crowded eateries. That's our personal choice even when we go out for dinner by ourselves (we always book a table when they are just opened!).
About the food you got, in the way you wrote seems like you only had chocolate, pizza, pasta & wine.
You got instead:
WELCOME TO TORINO
•A drink of your choice (coffee/cappuccino/ tea/ shot of warm chocolate / crema caffè in the summer)
+ 3 chocolate pralines (finest chocolate)
+ spoon of Gianduja spread
•STREET FOODS
Such as:
•Checkpea pie (typical from both Piedmont and some areas of the Ligurian riviera)
•Arancino (rice ball). The combo of Piedmont (famous for its rice fields) and Sicily, where this recipe is iconic and it's street food at its finest.
•Awarded gourmet pizza from a Turinese pizza chef (who received the award of best pizza of Italy). Several tastings with interesting toppings (all slow food presidium)
For our experience is called Street Food Tour deluxe, and you can't skip pizza. When it's one of a kind especially.
•PIEDMONT ON A PLATE
-Fresh made pasta (that scores always as one of the highlights…not average pasta. Handmade fresh pasta)
- Veal with tuna sauce
-Stuffed bell peppers
-Russian salad (typical dish, despite the name).
Tastings may change according with season, and the places visited.
+ 1 glass of local wine, DOCG wine, always from small wineries.
(What you get is what is written in the tour description).
Stopping at the restaurant is part of the 'deluxe aspect'- that gives name to the experience.
So not only street food, connected somewhat with Piedmont, but also some little hidden gastronomic gems where you can taste a wide variety of flavours from the region.
The restaurants selected, like all the other businesses involved, are small localy owned and run eateries serving genuine authentic food.
To sum up, you had the chance to sample an entire menu in progression, spread over a few different gastronomic spots off the beaten path, where locals love to go for quality products and ambiance.
About the pasta, that is one of the dishes our guests usually love the most.
About 1 glass of wine, that is what is included.
Although you are free to buy your own bottle if you want.
Our food experience not always but often starts with a ritual that is deeply rooted in the Italian identity: I am talking about the coffee ritual.
Coffee as a drink of socialization. Coffee as a magical immaterial pot containing endless stories, in which Torino plays an important role.
In fact, the city is the one where the first espresso machine and the Moka pot were both invented.
Not to mention the iconic Lavazza and the coffee museum.
No matter the time, it's always coffee 'o clock.
So you get coffee BUT you can also go for cappuccino or macchiato, or crema caffè or even a shot of hot chocolate.
Alongside with the beverage of your choice, you get a premium selection of the finest chocolate from a local artisan. Plus the most exquisite version the legendary Gianduia spread (the Maserati of Nutella, so to speak).
You selected the experience starting at 4 pm, which is pure merenda time in Turin (sweet afternoon snack time). So it's lovely to share with our guests what we usually do around that time.
After a beautiful tasting and a large intro about the legendary role played both from chocolate and coffee in Torino, we of course move on the savoury part. Building up tasting in progression.
The local winery and restaurant was your final food destination.
As mentioned above, each food place and tasting is supported by a strong narrative component: we are very sorry you didn't get it.
The way you descibe the experience sounds like an illogical/meanless blend of things.
Which are absolutely not. We promote and preserve our precious food culture heritage, we support small local family businesses (like ours), we put our 150% in what we do and we are grateful for each single travel we've hosted so far.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Every opinion matters and that’s why we are writing an accurate reply. Our guests always deserve our attention, in every possible way.
Wishing you and Christine all the very best.
Kind regards,
Cecilia & Abram

We had a most entertaining food tour with Abram. Highly recommended for those looking for a good feed and enjoyable banter. Best food tour yet.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Jerry, Jerry: what a FUN we had yesterday! Thanks a million for the laughter, the feeling good atmosphere and for the awesome memories we made around the table.
I was really happy to share with you my tasty Torino and to host you over few hours of food&fun in the city.
Hope to see you guys again at some point.
Meantime, thanks a lot for choosing our food tour in the beautiful city of Torino and for this amazing review, whose title made me laugh. In truth I had to check on “ripper” - had no clue about the meaning. I guess I got it right and it made me laugh. Keeping the fun mood of yesterday on :D
Grazie e alla prossima
CIAO!
Cheers,
Abram
Karl_W, Jun 2023
Abram planned and conducted an absolutely fantastic food tour of Turin. He took us to places we would have never located on our own and which were not in any guidebooks. The historical
context he gave us about the places we visited gave us an "insider's" understanding of everything we tasted. The final stop was in a neighborhood Osteria for a wonderful meal in a family atmosphere. Best food tour I've experienced.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Ciao, Karl!
I am so thankful to have hosted such amazing foodies and curious palates like you guys. I mean, it’s always a beautiful reward when people choose you and your activity… if they rate your food tour like the best they’ve experienced (knowing they have done a lot!) well, that can only make me feel great… and grateful.
Grazie mille for this super feedback and for your appreciation on our culinary adventure.
You’re always welcome in Torino!
Hope to see you again at some point.
Cheers,
Abram
